Not just Experience, Inexperience also Helps

               Before the start of the tournament New Zealand where unrated, even with their form reaching new heights in shorter format of the game and it's mainly due to their lack of IPL experience in these conditions, that's added with their inexperienced spin attack.
              In this wrecked world experience is where the hype surrounds and also causes the side effects in the form of  expectations. The Kiwis spinners haven't had the hype nor any expectations on them, which in turn favoured in their way.
             No one would have thought Kiwis spinners will be successful Nor any one would have thought they play with 3 spin attack even on a rank Turner with their formidable pace attack. But they had the different plans on reading the pitches like a hawk, which as been a key feature throughout the tournament.
             Lot said, at the highest level it's more about handling mental strength with more experience and expectations. While the kiwi spinners have little to do with expectations with their inexperience, it as all been expressing themselves with adapting to the conditions.
              On the game day batsnen have unrated their skill which in turn costed  wickets, although the spinners have the work to bowl in good areas to get those. They haven't had the special skill like Naraine had to Chuck batsmen, all they have done is applied the basics well.
           Santner and Ishi Sodhi were the leading wicket takers in the super10 phase, even fading out the lites of Ashwin, Hearth, Tahir, Afridi and Badree in the contest. Where batsmen haven't unrated these spinners due to their experience and the hype around them, which in turn played out the overs rather than attacking most of the times.
            Cricket these days have been more a tactical game where minds play a lot than skill, these as been replicated with the success of kiwi spinners. There will be the odd days where experience will be the reason for downfall, not due to failures but with the standards one set for themselves.
           Although with inexperience there is always smoething new on the table to deal with, but at most times it turning out be misperceive of what it should be than what it is.
            It's not that kiwi spinners under performed, but the batsmen surely underrated them. So inexperience also helps when players adapt to the different conditions quickly, while at the end it is the inexperience that made the edge in terms of wickets. It will be interesting to see, how they perform with more experience and expectations in the future.

Struggling Batsmen Face Bowling Challenge on Sporting pitch

                 One loss in the opening match forced India to face on 3 virtual Knockouts, it asn't been that easy to make roads to the semifinal. Once again it's time for an Knockout clash as they take on West Indies in the second final on Thursday at Wankhede.
              Unlike India Windes opened their account in an Caribbean style against England, where the English men witnessed a Gayle Strom. Later it was Fletcher and their bowlers who made two in two. But against Proteas it's not the same story with the bat, where they struggled to score runs on a slow low pitch. But eventually at the end made it on the right side, after against Afghanistan they couldn't make it as fell short of 8 runs.
              The scenes showing that Windes might be losing their momentum at the crucial phase, as Sammy's says it six steps to lift the trophy. But they haven't gone under pressure playing an virtual Knockout so far, which they have to deal for the first  time aginst the Host's.
               Meanwhile India haven't lived up to the expectations of the ferry tag line of favourites, due to their concerns in the batting. They are yet to perform as an unit in the batting, while bowling as been their strength so far keeping them in the hunt in crunch situation's.
              But Injury to Yuvraj may alter their strategies a bit, where he played a crucial role with the ball and bat aginst Aussies in testing conditions. Pandey who Is drafted in the squad may fill the spot in the semifinal.
               Both the sides have similar concerns with the bat , as it as been one man show for them so far. Apart from Fletcher and Gayle the batting unit as been down, while with India it is Virat who is leading with the bat, with his crucial knocks aginst Aussie and Pakistan.
              Meanwhile the pitch at Wankhede produced run  fest's, but on the eve of the semifinal the curator is ready with an sporting pitch. With enough assistance to bowlers and batsmen, pacers may get help in the early part with tinch of grass. Although toss gonna be crucial as it as been difficult to defend scores on this pitch so far.
             In crunch games like semifinal's it's all about handling pressure which as been a feature of Indian team, but it as been the problem with Windes. The contest mainly determines the batting between both sides, where bowlers pulled things back so far in the tournament.

Underrated teams seek to take one more step forward

               The world T20 gears up for the semi finals, as one of the two going to be  played at the capital with England and Kiwis face an Knockout on Wednesday. Both the sides were underrated before the start of the  event about their chances making it to top 4, especially due to their lack of IPL experience.
               Things are not as been the same so far, captaincy as been the taking point with Baz retirement. But  Williamson already beginning an new era and also one can say he is carrying out Baz legacy forward with selflessness and in taking bold decisions. They laid easy roads in to the semi's with taking minimal risks.
                 England team were quite under pressure with losing their opening match to Windes, after the scenario changed for them where every game was almost like a virtual Knockout. They held their nerves in followed 3 matches and so far it's wasn't that easy for them to make it over the line. It was tough and at the same time testing their credentials which came good for their side at the end.
               Accessing the conditions and picking the team accordingly as been the blueprint of Kiwis so far, their performance as been good in all departments. Spinners led the attack from the front in these conditions  and they hadn't played two matches at the same Venue, so as with the semifinal.
             While England struggled coping with conditions and played two matches at Delhi so far in the group stage which will be handy in accessing the conditions in the semifinal. Although the pitch will be in focus, as it turned to be a Turner and also in to a batting pitch in the matches played.
             Kiwis showed great credentials with the spin and England lied heavily on their batting depth. At crucial times both the sides done well with the bat and  ball, so now it may turn in to an even contest, with already played venue for England and Kiwis who are doing well in spining conditions.
            Kiwis like to go with 3 spin attack if the pitch turns dry once again and England seek to go with the settled combination at the Venue. Meanwhile the contest much lies on how England batsmen deal with flourishing Kiwis spin attack.
           

Afghan look to fight hard against High powered Windes

              The spirit shown by the raw Afghan is a good replica of their improvement in the game so far, especially in the associate corridor. With more exposure of the team against quality only helps them  more, as they face the final match of the tournament against Windes on Sunday.
             Afghan yet to register a win in the super10, but they feel quite happy with the prospect their are performing. In the opening match against Lankans they struggled a bit with the bat and in field, although given a tough fight for the islanders. They should good intent by nullifying their mistakes from Lankans against Proteas, where they threatened to chase 209. While against England they almost went all over  England by picking up wickets and at the end couldn't make it in the right place.
           Meanwhile Windes qualified to semi's by making it over the line easily early on, the Gayle Strom taken away England out. Later on Windes restricted Lanka's to a par score and chase down with ease with help from Lankan fielders. Although against Proteas they had to really work hard with the ball the spinning and thanks mostly to their depth in the batting to win a close encounter by making in to semi's.
             It can be said that Afghan are building version of Windes with the approach they are playing the game in a aggressive mode. Although the dead rubber is much to offer for Afghan in terms of experience and for Windes it about keeping in check of players a head of semifinal.
               Apart from India and New Zealand, Afghan is the other team which played matches at different venues. At Nagpur it won't be helpful for their free flow with the bat, but their spinners won't get a perfect venue to turn the ball.
                So far at Nagpur there are pretty low scoring games with much assistance to spinners, it won't be any different on Sunday. Meanwhile Afghan hope to give a last and hard fight against Windes, as Windes look for better performance with the bat after the close finish against Proteas.
            

Berth for the Semifinal, as Aussie and India Turns for a Spicy Encounter

                The much awaited contest between the two even teams, gears up for an even more crunch game of the group so far. As Australia and India face each other on Sunday in an Knockout for an place in the semi final and it may not get better at this crunch situation.
               The contest between these sides as been more anticipated in modern times and in the recent times it got spread over irrespective of the format and venue they are playing in. With semi final spot on the cards in the world T20, the contest got much spice than expected.
               India as entered as favorites with playing at home and considering their form earlier, but the results being produced so far, as raised some doubts for their fortunes. After losing to Kiwis in the opening match with a bigger margin, made their every contest as an Knockout. India turned good against Pakistan in a low scoring contest, while against Bangladesh they held their nerve to pull of a last ball thriller.
             Australia have a slightly immpersive upward curve, although it as been the same story in other terms with wins and loss. Frist up they had a close loss against Kiwis, but against Bangla they lost their way in the later half with the bat. While aginest Pakistan it was an all-round performance to send them home.
            The recent series between these two sides will be handy for both the sides in planning their strategies. Although Australia look quite strong squad now, while it will be handy and at the same time some sort of risky for Indian team with the same squad.
             So far batting is where India struggled more than Aussie and bowling as been played a crucial part in their wins. The performance from Faulkner and Jadeaja will be crucial as their margin good and bad is minimal with their roles in the team. Watson look to make most of it in his last WT20 and  Warner, Rohit and Dhawan will be focus who aren't made their strides in the tournament yet.
            The pitch at Mohali so far produced good scores and with little assistance for spinners. It may not be a surprise if that turns out be a Turner on Sunday. Although the pitch will not vary with its true bounce so far it had.
            India may not consider to alter their squad, as they are going through it for some time and they may consider Haribajan if they change it. While Aussie look to go with the same  squad, as they played their previous match at the same venue.
             It will be tough at the end as only one them making in to the semi's for fans and Cricket lovers. But it will be a match that can peer with the final in some sorts in this situation. So Aussie batsmen should aware of  Indian spinners, so as Indian bowlers should vary of Aussie depth with the bat.
              
              

Bowling heavy Lankans face Batting heavy England in familiar Conditions

               The another spot for the semifinal berth in Group1 intensifies, as West Indies made it through by wining against Proteas. Now Proteas chances lies on the crucial encounter between England and srilanka, as they likely to face on each other for crucial contest on Saturday in Delhi.
              Srilanka chances lies high with two matches still play and one of them on Saturday will a virtual Knockout. But a loss will knock them out of the Contest, so far srilanka struggled with the bat in the matches played against Afghanistan and Westindes. Their bowling is where they look for inspiration, as spinners making most of damage on turning pitches.
                While England as their very concerns so far, with both of their wins came out of hard fought effort both with the bat and ball. Batting as been their strength with the depth they posses, but in their previous encounter against Afghan raised some doubts over their adaptability in spining conditions.
               Playing their both matches in Mumbai on a flat wicket may be the reason to their concerns, but they also should vary of the par score on an given surface. Where they struggled to estimate and lost against West Indies, while against Afghan they nearly gone through an phase of hell.
               One would say Lankans still building up an team in the batting order, but in big tournaments like this they need to show their spirit against various oppositions in a short time. The conditions are very of subcontinent in Delhi which they are  known to play at home and against England a good batting performance will pose some interesting scenarios in the group.
             The pitches so far in the tournament as their unique character, so as pitch at Delhi as enough assistance for spinners and to the batsmen as well. Both sides should aware of the par with surface slowing down a bit in the second Innings.
               England should use most of the experience from the previous encounter on the very pitch and also they should aware of Lankan underdog tag in the batting. While for Lankans once again their performance with bat will be a decisive factor. Meanwhile spinners from both sides will be in play and the contest will decere on batting of both the sides.
              

Bangladesh desperate to take Pride in Dead Rubber

               Group 2 as done with the anticipation for semi final spots, as the winner between India vs Australia will join them with Kiwis from the group. While a dead rubber may not cause any threats to the semi's spots with Bangladesh taking on Kiwis on Saturday at Kolkata.
              New Zealanders surprised everyone with their performance from the spinners so far and with wining 3 matches they played till now will give them lot of confidence. But on the other side there may be a rough patch waiting a head of semi's, although Kiwis much focused on the postives they had through the wins.
              Bangladesh would be disappointed with not wining an single contest so far, after their immpersive performances in Asia cup and in WT20 qualifiers. They gone all over the place against  Pakistan, but pulled well with the ball at the end against Aussie. The final ball defeat against India will hunt them a lot compared with other losses, where they are in Control of the match over 39.3 overs.
             So Bangladesh have the last chance to register a win in the super10 against Kiwis, who are flowing with form. They may have came in as Associate's, but this time around they can't go with empty hands considering their recent form in shorter format.
              While kiwis haven't got an chance to experiment with the squad and at the perfect time they have got do it, but they should also vary of Bangladesh's threat any time with a huge loss may alter the net runrate and the position in the points table.
               The pitch at Kolkata served well for the batsmen, but surprised everyone with a rank Turner in Ind vs Pak game. For this encounter it may turn with also enough assistance for batsman and Bangladesh are hopeful with making use of the conditions where they played against Pakistan earlier.
              On the cards it might look as a dead rubber, but it got much spicy in it's own way. Where a team hunting for a win and the other lokking to test their bench strength a head of Knockouts. It's the batting with Bangladesh that costed them more than with the ball, once again they will be tested against in form kiwi bowlers.

Proteas face Virtual Knockout against Allround Windes

               South Africa and Westindes have two more games under their sleeves, but it turns out to be only one when both sides face each other in the crucial encounter on Friday at Nagpur. Where the outcome of the match alters the positions in the table and so as the chances to the semi final berth.
              Proteas so far played on the flat Wankhede pitch with lot runs on offer and also not able to defend 229 against England. In the another encounter Afghanistan threaded Proteas to chase down 209, but fall short by 30 odd runs. Much to be talked about their batting performance on the postives note so far, but once again their bowlers should be aware of the tram line at both ends.
           Westindes Meanwhile got the taste to face two different surfaces unlike Proteas, where Gayle slanted his bat against England at Wankhede. In Bangalore spinners and Fletcher got them the job done restricting Lankans to a chasable total on a Turner. There is lot said much of an collective performance from the bowlers and batsmen so far from the Windes.
               Both teams doesn't lack any IPL experience, but unlike to IPL it's about adapting to different conditions in world T20 so far. For Proteas it's altogether like moving from wanderers to Nagpur, to face the typical subcontinent conditions.
              Injury to Duminy was an quite timely concern for Proteas in these conditions and at this situation, while windes are far relaxed with Gayle's fitness and performance from their spinners. But both bowling units are vary of their respective, destructive batting line ups.
              The pitch so far produced low scoring games, so as the low bounce and more turn in Qualifiers and in the opening match of super10. But know it is moved to the adjacent one with a bit of grass on it, although the seeds of spin still lies on it. With bigger dimensional of the square boundaries will be handy for spinners, unlike to than of Wankhede and Chinnaswamy.
              There is no point for an change in the Windes squad and they look to go with the same attitude as well. While Proteas need to change with injury concern, which makes a way for Phangiso and it will be a hard pick between Morris and wiese.
           So far it has been chasing at Mumbai and Bengaluru for a change at Mohali it as been the opposite with it's history. So toss gonna be crucial so as the bowling from both sides, where the Contest takes the edge to the outcome.

Pakistan and Australia face on More than a Knockout Challenge

              Group 2 turning out be vulnerable for the second spot after the dramatic match in Bangalore on Wednesday. It gripped the chances even more for Pakistan and Australia as they take each other on Friday at Mohali in a virtual Knockout for both the sides.
             Australia so far played on Turner's in Dharmashala and in Bangalore, on the both occasion they have taken their chase till to the end. But against Kiwis, Aussie couldn't make it over the line and against Bangladesh they lost their way after the good start finally gone over with their depth in the batting.
             With a different story Pakistan had won one of the three matches they played, so far batting as let them down in their losses. Although those concerns have the reasons behind  them, their in-form batsmen wouldn't bat more overs as expected due to snuffling in the batting order. So with both the losses  they made their chances vulnerable and a win against Aussie may not guarantee a place in top 2 of the table.
          The two sides last meet in an ODI in Adelaide where Aussie won the match convincingly, although Pakistan hurried Aussie batsmen with pace. But this time around it may not be the same story for pacers, as they taken off cleaner's in the previous at Mohali.
               The pitch at Mohali turned out be an runfest between Pakistan and New Zealand in the previous match. It's going to be the same and spinners may get more help as the game progress, but the grass on wicket only helped the ball to come fast on the bat.
               This even contest may open clear doors for the next crucial match of the group, Although it's more than an Knockout for both the sides. Net runrate may also determine the fate for the  sides, so the teams will be vary on the margin of win or loss in this up beating contest.
          Aussie eye on a win with the depth in the batting they posses, meanwhile Pakistan bowlers look to restrict them with well known conditions from the previous match. Although with some assistance for spinners their performance will be key to make it over on Friday and the contest between the batsmen of the both sides will decere the outcome.
             
            
               

Bangla Look to Go through Indian Gateway

               Once again the neighbouring countries face on each other for the third time in this year and India making roads on the both ossacions with ease. This time around it's a different story with teams under pressure of knocking out with Bangladesh virtually may have out, but got to win with a bigger margin to have any chance later on.
              Bangladesh so far as gone short of runs in the both matches against Pakistan and Australia, but they showed a late fight back with the ball against Aussie, where Aussie made it over the line with their depth in the batting. For Bangladesh it's more than an Do Or Die scenario.
             Whike India bounced back quickly in the rivary  contest, where batsmen applied themselves more after their collapse over Kiwis. But still batting as been a second string for India with bowlers making most for their job and giving batsmen a scene of relief to their performance.
              So far India as been the gate way for Bangladesh where they couldn't pass by in big tournaments,  Bangladesh failed to reach the next level with losing India in the quarter finals of 2015 WC. Later in the Aisacup cup they won against all the Asian opponents, but against India they couldn't in the group stage as well as in the main event.
             Still it's remain an dream for Bangladesh to make it to the semi finals, they have no more chances but to beat India to give them the best chance. Also it's about wining aboard for them and the occasion and opponent won't get any bigger to test their credentials.
             Meanwhile India are aware of Bangladesh performances and their growth in all departments in recent times. It will be an another virtual Knockout for them sane as the situation against Pakistan, so they are aware of both their situation and the opponent.
            Bangladesh may be happier in one aspect as they face India in Bengaluru, where they gone close against Australia. So far the pitch showed great assistance to spinners and it as been hard to pick slower balls with two phased surface in the recent matches. Once again spin going to roll at Chinaswammy.
             India hadn't lost to Bangladesh in this  format and Bangladesh look to make change that to be in contest. Ms may consider Haribajan with the amount of turn on the pitch, while  Bangla look for Tamim's fitness ahead of crucial encounter and they bank on their bowling with Mustafizur return. In the mean time the contest lies on how Bangla batsmen play the hosts bowlers.
            

England face On Tricky Associate Challenge

                 The sun as heating up the subcontinent, so as the intensity in the WT20 for the semi final berth. The spirit shown by Afghan so far as been impressive and they showed a glimpse of winning, Although they have lost the 2 games still there are  chances for them to show case in semi finals.
                 England had bounced back pretty well against the  Proteas, by chasing the highest score in WT20. So with that they registers their first win after losing to Windes, they can take lot of positives from the chase. But now they face tricky challenge against Afghan, where it's going to be an must win game for them.
                 While Afghan has shown the mental strength to cope with the pressure and they need to take their game to the next level, in order to pose some serious threats to the established sides. Fielding as Costed them a lot in the both games and it's a area of concern they need to improve on in up coming marches.
              England on the other hand will be aware of the associate threat, which they have been facing for some time now. They lost to Netherlands in 2009 and in 2014 in this format, in the 50 over cup they have a history of losing it to associates, where in 2011 lost to Ireland and in 2015 lost to Bangladesh in a crucial Knockout.
             This time it's not gonna be easy either for them as Afghan made Srilanka and South Africa to work for win against them. Fielding as been also sloppy with England so far and this aspect of the game played a crucial role in their losses against associates. Although the new lock England looking quite  positive, but still it's important to be aware of history.
             Now it's time for Feroz shah Kotla to host it's frist match of WT20, the pitches prepared so far surprised in some venues. Where in Mohali the low scoring Venue turned out to be a run fest. But for now Kotla asn't hosted an international T20 yet, but the IPL stats show that there gonna be considerable amount of turn and variations will be key.
               So the pitch still gonna be a puzzle to solve on the match day, as Afghan take on England in both their crucial encounter in the WT20. So far batting as been key for both the teams and fielding as been an concern. Although England have stronger bowling unit than Afghan still have to make actions to stop spirited Afghan batsmen.
                 
   

Playing XI and Conditions In focus, as Pak face Virtual Knockout

               The world T20 as surprised with the amount of turn at Bengaluru and Dharmashala, So with Mohali gearing for it's opening match as Pakistan face on New Zealand in an must win encounter where the pitch is in focus for both the sides.
                 So far not only the turn but the playing XI of both these sides surprised bit more, as Kiwis gone with conditions in picking the squad and succeed with their spin formula even without Boult and Southee. While Pakistan surprised everyone with picking 4 front line seamers in the attack, where the pitch is two phased one and it turned out be a Turner on the rivalry contest.
                Pakistan so far tried to pick their best Playing XI, but that costed them with the conditions. Once again their playing XI will be in focus, although batting is the region where they are struggling. With the injury to Hafeez, it's looking even complicated against in form Kiwis and also it's time for them to access the conditions more, in going through their Playing XI.
               While on the good side Kiwis are in form with their wins against the hosts and Aussies, once again they try to pick their best suited plating XI to the conditions. Bowling as been immpreseve especially in the spin department and they look to bank them accordingly with the conditions.
             The pitch at Mohali turned good for batting in recent times and with some assistance for pacers early on. But on the eve of  World T20 it may give a bit surprise with turn, as the wicket looks dry enough underneath the grass.
            Pakistan will make few changes to their playing XI with the injury to Hafeez and also they look to bring in Imad Wasim if conditions are more to an Turner. Kiwis will not alter the squad unless the conditions gonna be  different.
             Kiwis hold edge in recent times against  Pakistan, where they won by 2-1 in the T20 series back at home. It's almost a virtual Knockout for Pakistan as batsmen and conditions in focus. Meanwhile Kiwis look to book a berth in semifinal and the contest between how Pakistan batsmen handle kiwi bowlers will decide the outcome.

Bangladesh Bowling in Focus, as Aussie Need to Dominate

             The structure of the format making perspectives tough for the teams and to the fans, with a single loss causing to face virtual Knockouts in remaining matches. The same scenario is in front of Bangladesh and Australia, as both sides face each other in Bengaluru on Monday after their respective loss in the previous game.
               Aussie with the batting line up they posses would have been chased the total with ease, Although the Kiwis bowling on the two paced turning track proved too good enough to defend a moderate score. Now they need to forget the close chase and should turn around quickly to make a serious statement against depleted tigers.
               Meanwhile Bangladesh showed an uncharacteristic bowling effort against Pakistan, which made them to chase down a huge total and  fallen short of the total with an serious decrement in the net runrate. While the suspension of Taskin and sunny from  bowling made them furious on ICC especially the unclarity in Taskin suspension.
              While from other end Mustafizur Rahaman fitness would add some spice in their bowling, but Taskin's suspension will be a major blow for them. The batting asn't been up to mark so far from the qualifiers, due to their heavily dependence on Tamim, Shabir and also with inconsistent performance from Shakib with the bat.
             Australia in their close chase had a lot of positives to take from Watson, Marsh all-round performances and Khawaja's flow with the bat at the top. That made an right and left combination in the batting order to trouble bowlers and they also found depth in the spin with Agar, Maxwell and Zampa in the squad.
               While the Benguluru pitch surprised everyone with the ball turning square of the  wicket in the previous match between Windes and Lankans. Although the pitch for this match may not be the same, but will be a typical batsmen paradise with help for pacers early on.
             Both sides looking forward to this uneven contest not only to win, but also to rise their net runrate which will be in play later in  determining top 2 Spots of the group. While Bangladesh as to deal with the destructive and depth in the Aussie batting with their depleted bowling attack, where the Contest lies on.

Srilanka hope to contain Destructive Windes Battling

               Bangalore gears for it's opening match in world T20, as the defending underdogs face the Caribbeans on Sunday. So far in this super 10 stage both teams won their  initial match in the tournament and are virtually going without pressure to express themselves more in their second match.
              Srilanka seems that they are  not defending the title with  their young team, but it's more about building an team. The result against Afghan may have gone their way with some experience in bowling attack compared with them. But their batting haven't gone as they thought it should, although they are helped by some sloppy fielding to get out of the way.
           While the T20 stardom windes outlashed England with ease in a Gayle  Strom and their allronders stood up with their variations with ball.The squad seems quite settled with their dance on and off the field and it's all about getting more momentum for them against Lankans
         Coming to the Bangalore it is known for run fests and high scoring games, while on Sunday it's going to be the same as ever. Gayle will be itching to score another ton in his home ground, which he as been representing RCB over the years. Once again bowlers gonna have a hard time and teams can't feel safe even with 200+ on the board.
           Malinga's omission from the squad only made things worse for Lankans and with the depth and hard hitters in the in windes squad will pose serious problems to their bowlers. While the contest lies on the batting of Windes vs Lankan bowlers.

Proteas not Ready to take Afghan as Minor's

            The super10 proving to be more than an Knockout as one loss keeping teams under pressure, as Afghanistan look back and think that's very close against Lankans and with an good fielding the result have been different. So as the Proteas see only the extras they have conceded more than England in the loss.
              Afghanistan showed great fight back with the bat against srilanka after the early collapse, their captain takes a lot credit for that. But on the two phased surface batting wasn't been easy, fielding is the area where Afghan let themselves down and it's the area of concern to deal with.
             As all Proteas would have thought 230 was an huge total to chase down, but England made it possible with electrifying batting from Jason Roy and Root. Although bowlers are pretty off the lines with conceding 20 Wides added pain to the wound.
           With the loss in the opening match of super10 it turned out be crucial match for both the teams, as Wankhede turns up once again for an run fest. Bowlers will be tested on the pitch, as change in pace may suit them more.
           Proteas may not see Afghan as Minors with their recent performances and it can be tricky with some sort of pressure on them. Meanwhile Afghan hope for an spirited effort to stay in the contest.

            
           
             

India Under Pressure, as Pakistan Playing fearless

                World T20 is up for the rivalry contest on Saturday, as the hosts face on Pakistan in the super 10 stage at Eden gardens. There always as been a huge hype on this contest in the fans and around the media over the globe. This time it's  not going to be any different, as the hosts are under pressure after the opening loss against Kiwis.
                Here on from now every win is crucial for India and a loss costs too much even an Knockout is possible. While Pakistan outlasted Bangladesh with their raw performance with bat and ball and made a point that they can be an dangerous side if their batting fires up.
             The return of Ahmed shezad at the top of the order proved worth of his place in the team, the Innings against Bangladesh may be the comeback form for Hafeez. While Sharjeel Khan firing at the top will be handy for Pakistan with in-form Sarfaraz, Akmal and Malik in the middle order and can be followed with some Boom Boom lower down the order as well.
             On the other page India's batting looked quite formidable with their recent success, but the collapse at Nagpur proved that they heavily depend on lites of Rohit and Virat. Although the middle order tested quite few times in the Asiacup, but they need to respond much more if there an early breakthrough's.
              While bowling looks to keep  them in the game irrespective of batting performance for both the teams,  once again their performance will be crucial for India in the Crunch situation. Early spells from Nehra and Amir will be critical, so as the death from Bumrah. Ashwin, Jadeaja and Afridi will be itching for the game with some turn on offer on the pitch.
              The pitch at Eden gardens slowed down a bit and it proved to be an two phased one in the previous Match, their will be enough assistance for spinners even with the change in wicket for this Contest and may be slight helpful for batsmen.
               The change in the venue for this Contest as been the talking point, but at the end it came good for fans with more capacity compared with Dharmashala. At the end On the earth day the contest of the crucial encounter hangs on how Pakistan batsmen treat Indian bowlers.
              

England Hope for different Result, as Proteas look to Continue Form

                A month ago both teams started their preparations to World T20, where Proteas dominated the preparations with sweeping England. Now it's high time for England in the main event, as they lost their opening match against Windes in a Gayle Strom.
              Proteas after sweeping England, lost the series 2-1 to the Aussie. But still they find themselves in 2nd spot in rankings, so as in their confidence level. As Duplessis pointing the conditions are similar to Wanderers and they do expect the similar result.
               While England with the loss in their opening match made things harder for them later in the competition, one more loss on their back will make things even harder and their fate may hang in Knockouts and net run rate.
               Both teams played with the similar squads, so that may give the idea what to expect from each other and will look to plan according to that. But Proteas holds the edge with their recent wins against them and with the IPL experience in coping with conditions.
               Once again a run fest on the cards at Wankhede with some bounce and help for pacers early on in the Innings. The short boundaries will make stroke play even easier, as bowlers look to contain batsmen.
              England may have felt that they could have more runs on the board, but their inexperience in the bowling unit as showed off. It's not going to be different on Saturday, if their bowlers won't learn quickly enough to stick to variations.
              England hope to turn around hard with learning from their earlier crunch situations at the same venue, they look to make few changes for the crucial encounter. Meanwhile Proteas hope to continue their T20 form by registering a win in their opening match, as the result lies on how England bowlers contain Protea batsmen.

              Super10 is up for an even contest between the neighbours on Friday, as Australia up for their first match against the flourishing New Zealand. Both teams are in a wining momentum mode in their recent matches, but Dharmashala is up for alerting one of their momentum.
               Australia had struggled in T20's due to inconsistent squads over the times, the present squad looks much balanced in all the departments. Although they lack an experienced spinner, but the batting looks to cope with the inadequate spot.
              Kiwis started their campaign with an important win against the hosts, where the young spinners rattled the batting order on a Turner. Although they look for much room for improvement with their batting, after the low scoring game.
               There as been always an even contest between the 2 teams irrespective of the format and it's going to be the same on Friday. At their respective grounds they hold the edge on each another, but at the neutral venue both teams are eager to make an edge.

                One is struggling to find the perfection combination with lack of performance as an unit and also with injury concerns, the other just started to make strides in international Cricket a few years ago. But making most of it when the opportunities coming their way.
             A perfect encounter to consider for both the sides at the early stage in super10, as Afghanistan and srilanka face on each other at the garden city of India. No match going to be predictable one in this unpredictable format, as every win counts and every loss costs with the structure of the format with teams involved.
             Srilanka after their unsuccessful run in Asia cup and also in the previous series in 2015 consider themselves to be more productive to raise their standards. The match against Afghanistan will be a good time for them to build some sort of confidence, to take on top ranked teams later in the tournament.
               Afghanistan on the other won matches quite comfortably in the qualifiers and hope to build on that to shake the struggling Lankans. Although it's not gonna be easy for  them, but if they play that they all have in a fearless attitude they can surprise any unit and won't be an upset for other teams.

              Srilankan batting as struggled in recent times, but their bowling is smoething they look in to for inspiration even without Malinga. Afghanistan in the same time had performed well with the bat and ball, but hadn't tested their skills against non associate  nations and which they need to do to reach new heights within the limited opportunities.
                 The Lankans look to bank on the bowlers against the associates on the batting wicket, as Afghan seek build on the momentum in to super10. Meanwhile the contest lies between the young Afghan batsmen and experienced Lankan bowlers.

             The super10 round in Group 1 kick starts with Caribbeans taking on England on Wednesday in the second match of the day. Both teams are quite in search of an good combination a head of the tournament and seek to kick start with a win.
             England should access the conditions more with their lack of IPL experience in their players, Although they seek lot from the tour of UAE. Where they dominating the hosts in the shorter format and look to bank on experienced players this time around in the subcontinent.
              In the meantime West Indians  played a lot of IPL over the years and their experience at different T20 league's around the world will be their strength. It's not going to be any different from them playing at home or in India, with the experience in IPL they posses in the squad.
             But with the brand of Cricket England adopted now they can pose some serious questions to any squad on given day, they heavily bank on their batting with the lites of Hales, Morgan, Root and Butler. But with their bowling unit is on the inexperienced side they need to cover it with their batting.
            The Wankhede stadium In Mumbai produced some run fest's in the practice matches and the only T20 played at this venue as been won by England against India back in 2012. Lot of runs will be expected from the wicket  here.
              Both teams posses good power hitters and match winners, overs from the spinners will be key as there will be some amount of bounce and turn.

Pakistan Seek to Break Shackles at Neutral Venue

              Group 2 from super10 looks quite tough in making  roads, with Bangladesh coming up in the ranks in recent times made every match important for all the teams. Virtually they have entered into super10 as associates, but in reality they are no more with the tag.
               Pakistan delayed start to India made things a bit tough for them, as they played only practice match against srilanka. Their team looks quite confident in press conference and in practice match too. But they need resolve their batting issue as early as possible.
                 The tigers are in some sort of form after their performance in Asiacup and in the qualifiers, they do have a good record against Pakistan in recent times. Bangladesh holds the edge in the eve of their first match, as they have a quite settled squad.
                Pakistan top order unimpressed in the Asiacup and they failed to make in to the finals being with finest bowling attack in the world. Once again their batsmen will be tested by Bangla bowlers, but this time in an neutral venue Bangladesh lack the home advantage.
             It also time for them wining aboard, after their freakish success at home. It will be the new challenge for them to make a bigger mark on the big stage, they hope to cope with added expectations on them.
               At Eden gardens the pitch looked quite good for batting in practice matches and will be expected the same at this venue with some assistance to spinners. It will be interesting to see how bowlers respond on a batting friendly wicket.
              So on an batting pitch bowling will make the difference between the sides and it is the bowling where strength lies for both the teams. The result of the match lies on how Bangladesh batsman overcome the quality of Pakistan bowling attack on an batting wicket.

              So far this year India lost one T20 out of 11 they played, there can be a  rough patch near by, but their major focus is on continuing their form in to World T20. Asia cup helped them in a big way it tested their depth in the batting, after playing on flat wickets in Australia and in India.
            New Zealand on the order side hadn't played in the subcontinent for a while now, they will be tested by the conditions offered here. Although their form in limited overs at home is quite spectacular, but the retirement of Baz may have slightest effect on them in pressure situations.
               It's once going to be Nagpur to host frist match of super 10 as the  qualifiers, it looked the pitch was on the slower side and plenty of help for spinners with bigger square boundaries too. Batsmen against spin will be tested and batting second on this pitch as been a bit difficult so far.

               India look to Unalter the squad that played against Bangladesh in the final of Asia cup, it's important for Kiwis to find the right combination against the hosts. While the result lie on how kiwi batsmen play Indian spinners on the turning and slowing Nagpur track.

Super 10 Heats up, So as the Sun

                 The qualifiers of WT20 as produced some twists and tails in the groups and the rain also played a major role to the outcome of results. Meanwhile Scotland registered a win in major event and Oman opened their maiden WT20 with a win against Ireland.
                 Apart from those Afghanistan held their nerve in the crucial encounter to make it into super 10 phase along side Bangladesh with their crunching performance against Oman in a Knockout.
              Well with qualifiers finished teams lining up for super10 phase from Tuesday with India  taking on New Zealand. So with associates made a hard fight in reaching the next phase, here we see the teams best chances of making it to the next phase.

India
           The hosts  considered as the major favourites, as they are playing at home and with their recent form in this format. The team looks solid with the bat with the lites of Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli and Yuvraj's recent form helped it even more.  Ashwin, Bumrah, Nehra are their present triumphs in the bowling, but the depth with the bat and ball made them victorious  in the form of pandhya and Jadeaja. While their chances lie on how they bowl and bat at death overs against strong teams.

South Africa
            Proteas are also the one in the list of favourites, consider their recent form and with their vital experience in  IPL. They are struggling a bit in the middle order, but they do have the top order to cope with lites of Amla, Duplese, Deckock and Devilers. In the bowling they have the young prospects like Rabada and Abbot to work with the experience of steyn and Tahir. Wiese and Morris can be handy with their all-round roles considering their IPL experience here. It's all depends on how they overcome the Knockout challenge, which as been their major obstacle.

Australia
              The inconsistent of the squad as been talked a lot about them, but the present squad as pretty good experience in playing subcontinent. Finch, Watson, Warner, Smith and  Maxwell forms an destructive batting line up, which will be their strength to go with. Although a lot depends on how their young bowling attack tackle in these conditions, while Hastings and zampa will be key. The Aussie depend lot in their allronders and they do have quality all rounders in the form of Faulkner, Mitch Marsh and Watson. Meanwhile their chances depend lot on how they gonna handle in playing and bowling spin.

West Indies
             The Caribbeans as always known for T20 Cricket these days, they do hold a strong team in contention for the top spot. The presence of too many allronders in the team is their biggest strength and those T20 experience around the world will help them more. They posses long batting line up along side Gayle, and Samuels. Naraine absence is a big blow for  them, but they hope Badree and Nurse can hold the job of spinners. Bravo, Russell, Sammy and holder will be key for them with the ball more than with the bat.

Pakistan
             Pakistan do have a good record in this format with making 2 times in to finals and 4 times to semifinal. While this time around they have formidable bowling attack as ever, but in the spin department afridi and other spinners should come in to the party. In recent times their batting looked quite rusty, especially at top of the order. They depend lot on Akmal, Malik and Sarfaraz, if they get good with the bat it's hard to beat them with the bowling they posses.

England
             The brand of Cricket they are playing against the quality teams, as been very immpersive in recent times. On banking on that attitude they are in contention to lit up the tournament. Batting is their strength with the lites of Hales, Root, Morgan and Buttler. Presence of Stokes and Ali in the firm of allronders is quite a plus for them, Although their bowling is quite inexperienced, which they have to over come in coping with conditions.

New Zealand
              Kiwis played quite well in limited overs formats in recent times so far, but they hadn't played in subcontinent for a while now. Brendon retirement would be a new challenge for Williamson and rest of the players. Guptil, Williamson, Taylor are core to their batting, Anderson and Elliot will fill their allronders roles. Bowling is quite strong with Boult, Southee and McClenaghan. Although spin will be key in these conditions and it will be interesting to see how their inexperienced spinners respond to this bigger challenge.

Srilanka
             The defending champions are looking in a spite bit of bother with the batting performance a head of the tournament. Although they have a genuine match winners like  Dillshan, Mathews and Chandimal, but the inexperience of other players making them struggle. Bowling looks quite good with lites of Kulashekara, Chermana and Herath. Meanwhile malinga's fitness will be crucial for them, while their chances heavily lie on the performance of batsmen.

Bangladesh
              The tigers coming through with quite a bit of confidence with making way in to super10 phase, their performance at home in Asiacup will make them a tough team to face on this time around. Their strength lies on their  bowling and Mustafizur fitness will be quite crucial for them. Taskin Ahmed, Al-Amin Hossian and Mortaza done a quite good work so far. Batting also quite  progressing for them, Tamim's maiden century is a moral boost for him and to the team. Shakib, Rahaman, Tamim and Mortaza will be key for them, if they score good runs they can make other teams hard to chase or to defend.

Afghanistan
                 The associate nation making quite a big Stride's in international  Cricket with their aggressive play so far. They achieved a lot in short space than other nations, their performances are quite pleasing in shorter format. It won't be an upset if they win a match in super 10.

After getting Nothing, lot to take From Dead Rubber

              Scotland and Hong Kong would be quite disappointed being knocked out and the way they are not able to capitalize in crunch moments has costed them a lot. But for now they face on each other in a dead rubber to take some sort of pride on their back.
              It was not any easy to make it over the line in both the matches for Scotland, although they had some positives to look for the future. Batsmen played more aggressive Cricket than needed on the Nagpur pitch which resulted in a hard chasing for them on both the occasion's.
              While Hong Kong showed some sort resistance against Zimbabwe, but lost their way against Afghanistan in their church game. Once again their batsmen will be tested on the slowing pitch against Scotland.
             The associates are quite disappointed with only one team making into super10 stage, but both the sides hadn't made it over the line to give them the best chance for qualification though.
               On the day where Scotland and Hong Kong look for pride by making changes, to give an opportunity to bench players. So the Dead rubber is not as it for them, but leaving with an win will give them pride.
              

Afghanistan On a Roll, as Zimbabwe fighting to Make It

               Group B is all set for an Knockout game, with Scotland and Hong Kong being knocked out after losing their both encounters against Afghanistan and Zimbabwe respectively. Now it's all cleared for the decider at Nagpur in the Group B, as Zimbabwe face on Afghanistan.
               Zimbabwe so far struggled early on with the bat, they fought hard to make it over the line at the  end. Although Bowling unit showed some sort of character to defend a par score against Scotland, with added good effort in the field.
               Afghanistan Meanwhile showed positive intent with the bat and their bowlers pulled it at the back against Scotland. It looked all easy for them against Hong Kong both with the bat and with the ball too.
               The pitch at Nagpur is on slower side as it is known for, playing and bowling spin will be a deciding factor in the decider. It's not gonna be easy to bat second with slowing of the pitch.
                So far Zimbabwe asn't won a T20 against Afghanistan, they have to change the stats to make in to the super 10 stage. While Afghanistan would be quite happy with the way things have gone so far, another good show will make their first appearance in the second round.
               Meanwhile Zimbabwe may consider to strengthen their batting more, as Afghanistan look for an unchanged playing XI . Once again the inconsistency of Zimbabwean batting will tested and it is the area to watch out for in determining the result at the decider.
                
               

Ireland face Knockout after Oman Shock

                Every win as been so crucial so as the loss, so far in the qualifiers with giving no room for luck to the associates. A win may not grant a place at the top, but a loss will keep the team to face on knockouts in rest of the matches.
                Ireland with their loss against Oman made them to face on, confidence building Bangladesh in a most win encounter. Their record against Bangla may appear a feel good factor for them, but it's not going to the same old story against the runner-up Asia cup.
                The win against Netherlands hadn't came easy as expected for the tigers, batsmen struggled to make strides on which they will focus more on. As their bowling once again turned good at the death, which as been their strength where they gonna bank on.
              So it's knockout time for Ireland as they face on Bangladesh, Ireland win will pose some interesting matches a head in the  table. The conditions at Dharamashala once again will test batsmen and bowlers.
              Bangladesh hope to continue their form a win for them will ease their chances to top the table, although it depends on others results too. In the meantime Ireland have to come good to stay alive in the tournament.
              
                  

Oman Looks to Surprise again, as Netherlands face knockout

             Oman surprised Ireland with their maiden win in world T20 in their maiden appearance at this stage. However Oman performed quite well with the bat and ball to make over the line as new associates un-finishing near the line against the established one's.
               Netherlands fought quite hard against the rising Bangladesh, for most part of their batting they looked quite in  control. But losing wickets at crucial times made them to fall in pressure to handle the death bowling.
              As now qualifiers turns out to day 4, both the teams face on each other at Dharamashala where it brought quite dissimilar results for the both the teams.
             Netherlands who entered in to super10 stage in 2014, will consider this as a crucial game in the context of the qualification. Although the results of other games will be also in factor.
             Meanwhile the Oman will look to build up on new confidence after their maiden win, but it will become even challenging for them. As teams focus more on them, where every result alters progression through the qualifiers for every team.
             
             
              
                

Newlands set to end Preparations, as Series on the line

                  Australia with squaring the series at Johannesburg opened up an exciting decider at Capetown, where there would be some assistance for spinners unlike first 2 T20's. Will open up a good challenge for batsmen in handling spin a head of WT20, as well in the context of the series hanging on the line.
             The batting was slightly stiffed so far by the hosts, although they have gone with goods at the end. Bowling will be in focus after their loss with conceding too many extras, as been the primary reason.
             Meanwhile even with four changes to the squad, the visitors had finally ended their losing streak in T20's. They find themselves to be much confident after that much needed moral win, where they look to build on momentum a head of WT20.
           It will be a crucial game for the both the sides in the context of the series and building up momentum within the squad. Proteas look for more improvement with the ball, alongside making most of their final chance for the preparations of World T20.
           The pitch at Newlands proved to be on the slower side in recent times helping spinners, for which the hosts and visitors looking at. Batting second once again is in favour, although the record at this venue isn't in favour for the hosts so far.
              Australia may once again will make changes in accordance with the conditions on offer, Meanwhile the hosts unlikey to make a change with the series on the line.
               
                 

Proteas look for more Depth, as Aussie seek to Build on Positives

               Australia have flattered through the batting after their descrtive start by Finch, as Proteas clinched with the depth in the batting after their early collapse. Although both teams found some positives irrelevant to the result in the first T20.
             Proteas would be quite happy with the way Miller played at the end to take them home after his poor form in ODI's, the Innings came  under pressure as a confidence booster for him. The bowling unit pulled the things back after immpersive start by the visitors, once again Imran Tahir will be crucial for them against strong Aussie batting.
              Aussie need to find their right combination through this series, Smith who as batted at No.4  struggled even to rotate  strike. So it's important for him to bat up the order at No.3, who is likely to be known for spending some time at the crease. Bowling was impressive with the return of Counter Nile, although Andrew Tye remained as an concern.
            The recent matches at Johannesburg turned out as run fest's and huge runs are likely to be on cards once again. Aussie would be quite disappointed with the pitch provided at Durban which isn't in favour to spin as they expected a head of World T20.
             Once again the Aussie bank on their batting with quite a few allronders in the team and hope to stop their losing streak in T20's. Meanwhile the Proteas would be aware of the Aussie after their early collapse, now they look to come hard to continue their winning streak in T20's.
           
                  

Bangladesh Seek for different, as India look to Repeat

              The Asiacup as been more productive to the sponsors this time around being in the T20 format for the first time. The matches also been sportive enough with pitches been prepared unlike subcontinent with more help to the pacers.
              Now it's high time in Asiacup as hosts turn up for a bigger challenge in the final against India on Sunday. Not surprising India won all their games in the league phase to make it in to the final and on the other side Bangladesh produced some serious results only losing to India in the league stage.
              Bangladesh as been on a roll at home against modern gaints in recent times and they replicated the same in the tournament. But on the final day they once again face India where their fortunes turned not so good either in the quarter final of Wc15 or at the opening match of Asiacup with dropping Rohit and not able to cope with Indian bowling.
             India Meanwhile getting in to their groves more, whether it is in batting or in bowling. The recent sign's showing by Yuvraj, that he is getting more in to the groves which will be another problem Bangladesh face along side Rohit and Virat. The bench players also followed with impressive performance against UAE, by making most of the opportunity given to them.
               Even with injury to Mustafizur Rahaman the Bangladesh bowling looked good with lites of Taskin Ahmed, Al-Amin Hossian and Mortaza along side with their premier allronder Shakib. But it will be their batting and fielding where the result gonna lie for the hosts against the Asian giants.
              The pitch proved to be critical through the early phase for batting, but with the grass being cut down in recent matches provided much help for the batsmen. Although batsmen have to be aware of invariable bounce at times, spinners gonna be crucial in the final with the pitch dried out along side with the tournament.
            Hosts unlikely to make a change to their playing XI, Tamim Iqbal return boosted their batting more. While India look to replace their regulars in the side after testing their bench strength against UAE.
            
            

Confident Proteas up for Inconsistent Aussie

                It doesn't get any better for the Aussie and Proteas to lite up their preparations to the world T20, with Asian countries are going through the Asiacup. Both teams gear up for an 3 match T20 series with opening the match at Durban on March 4.
              The inconsistency in the squad combination as made Aussie a no.7 ranked team in T20 ratings, but the team looks complete in all departments with return of regular players. Although their problem against the turning ball still remain an concern a head of World T20, which they look to sort out against the Proteas.
              Proteas are quite a strong team in any format at home and even in aboard, their recent series win against England had given them a lot of confidence. The addition of wiese and Morris provided them a lot of depth both with the bat and ball. The promotion of AB in the order made their batting even stronger and it will be a tough ask for Aussie with the batting and bowling Proteas posses.
              Conditions at Durban going to be slow and will help for the spinners, as Smith hinted the curators for a subcontinental wicket that could benefit both the sides a head of the major tournament.
            Certainly Proteas back themselves against Aussie, but the Aussie do have potential match winners with the bat. It's much of finding an right combination in the squad for Aussies, as Proteas already had a settled combination and look for more options in these preparations.
            
               

A Dead Rubber to Build up Moral in the Teams

               It's not about losses with both Srilanka and Pakistan, but the way they are losing is a bigger concern for them to build a moral in the short space ahead of world T20, as both teams face on each other in the final league  match of AsiaCup on Friday.
              Pakistan suffering with their unending batting Vows from years, but with the preparations they had in the PSL have not replicated with the bat in the main stage. The top order performance is a worry for them, young batsmen struggling even in making starts along with Hafeez.
             As Mathews said they still not consider themselves going through transition period, coz the lites of Sanga and Mahela retired from T20 back in 2014. But it also added concern with injury to their premier bowler and captain.
             Srilankan's yet finding their combination in the batting order, although they should have done much better with the talent they have in the side. Irrespective of the result their batsmen should find their groves against quality Pakistan bowling to lift their moral up.
             Bowlers are not given enough runs to defend so far by the pak batsmen, eventhough they feel quite good with their bowling performance which as been their strength. They depend lot on lites of Akmal, Malik and Sarfaraz, but with the fall of early wickets it always a situation for them to rebuilding an Innings.
              So far the pitch favoured bowlers for the most part of the game, but now with cut in grass made it an good deck for batsmen. while bowlers will be in picture through the early phase of the Innings.
               Going in to the match there is nothing to chose with the batting  performance, while Pakistan can turn good with their good bowling attack if they get something on the board to defend.
               

UAE Seek to learn more from the Dead Rubber

              India already through the final with one more game still to play, which only makes them to keep the combination right a head of the final against the hosts on Sunday. As UAE look to make most use of their experience valuable a head of World T20 qualifiers.
              Ms who always likes to go with the winning combination irrespective of opponents and stage of the situation, has an opportunity to make some changes with giving bench players ago a head of big tournament.
              UAE showed good intent with the ball, although their batsmen struggled to take on the attack on the sporting pitches so far. But with the cut of grass batsmen now, can look for big Innings in the game if they can survive through the early the phase.
              India only got to find positives as Yuvraj making most of time spending in the middle, the Innings against srilanka showed a glimpse of unleashed yuvi and it's important that he would carry it to the  final. Ms would be a happy man with the performance especially from pandya, where the team looked a bit off, without the depth both with bat and ball earlier.
                It can termed as an dead rubber but UAE can only get one more opportunity, to play against a top quality side to test their credentials. It's important for India resting a pacer for an precautionary  concern, as they featured in all the 9  t20's India had played.
             
           

Hosts eye on Final, as Pakistan face a Crucial Knockout

               Bangladesh with their win against Srilanka made it clear that,  there won't easy chances for teams making it to the final. As they take on Pakistan in an crucial encounter in their last group match, will hope to register a win in making easy roads to the final against India.
                Both teams last played a T20 series in May, where the hosts won it convincingly along with registering their first win against Pakistan in T20 Cricket. But injury to their premier pacer Mustafizur  Rahaman may make things looks a bit tougher for the hosts.
               Pakistan know they need to perform their A game against the hosts, who are coping well with pressure against top teams. Batting looked a bit rusty even against UAE,  where they going to focus their energy against quality bowling attack of the hosts.
               Still their is enough help for fast bowlers in early part of the Innings, although batting eased up a bit later on. Pakistan would like to use most of the help in early part with quality fast bowlers in the attack at the moment.
                It's a crucial encounter for both the teams a win will secure a berth in the final for the hosts, other wise it depends on the result of the  match between Pakistan and Srilanka on Friday.
                At the end there is not much to choose between the two teams at the moment, but the hosts batsmen will be tested against the Pakistan pacers and their chances to the final lie more on it.
                 Pakistan may bring Imad Wasim or Wahab Raiz in place of Nawaz who leaked some runs against UAE. While the hosts forced to make a change Hider could replace injured Mustafizur Rahaman.
